getPlugin

public static <T extends JavaPlugin> T getPlugin(Class<T> clazz)

the plugin that provides and implements said class

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if clazz is null

IllegalStateException - if clazz was not provided by a plugin, for example, if called with JavaPlugin.getPlugin(JavaPlugin.class)

IllegalStateException - if called from the static initializer for given JavaPlugin

ClassCastException - if plugin that provided the class does not extend the class

getProvidingPlugin

public static JavaPlugin getProvidingPlugin(Class<?> clazz)

This method provides fast access to the plugin that has provided the given class.
